- As part of their commitment to promote sustainability, the IARU universities have established a Campus Sustainability Program aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of their campuses.

- Each of us has a different way of managing sustainability. This chapter highlights some of the common components such as engaging leadership, distributing responsibility, and developing ways to measure and report on progress.
- The IARU institutions have varying degrees of focus and penetration when it comes to operations and academics. This chapter highlights the ways that HEIs can lead by example in operations, but also touches on the possibilities for scholarship in the context of operations. We originally had a chapter on energy, but realized that in terms on content flow, it made more sense to include it under operations and under buildings.
- Buildings are undeniably a critical element to any campus. This focuses on possibilities for innovation in construction as well as the need to work with occupancy patterns and behavior.
- All 10 of the IARU institutions are deeply committed to the sciences. Labs are both a major priority and a major challenge for each of us. What we discovered with this chapter is that none of us has a great way to deal with the challenges that labs pose, due largely to the fact that changing lab behavior means changing PI behavior, which is always going to be a challenge. Even so, in collecting examples of challenges and hurdles and how they might be overcome, we learned from each other and have hopefully planted seeds for others.
- I was one of the supporting authors on this chapter, and found it to be one of the more difficult chapters to work on. Materials management is such a huge and complex beast, it was difficult to narrow it down to one cohesive chapter. While Yale is developing a distinct materials management strategy that includes reduce, reuse, repair, recycle as well as supply chain and diversion, ETH-Z is prioritizing commodity groups by impact using an LCA framework. Neither tactic is necessarily better than the other. Each is being developed to suit the instutional cultures and structures, so each is a valid approach. Hopefully this is reflected in the chapter and it will be helpful to others.
- This is a chapter we had not originally intended to include, but in our review of the first draft chapters we realized it was absent. Again, because each U has a different urban infrastructure context, there were some challenges, but the chapter offers some good foundational insights that should translate to many campues.
- Communication seems so basic, and yet it seems we are all struggling to do it effectively. This chapter was led by NUS, which has developed a really strong visibility program (replete with a mascot and tattoos). It overviews things like how to reach various audiences and how to streamline your messaging so that you are not overwhelming or nagging.
- One of the lessons we learned here was pretty basic – even when we are all speaking English, different words are used differently depending on culture. So when we say Staff in the US, t means non-academic employees, but apparently that’s not consistent. It actually took us quite some time to figure out how to work the language so that it would suit an array of English speaking audiences. Beyond that, we were able to develop a pretty strong chapter that offers tactics for developing programs for employees and students. A lot of U’s focus most of their attention on students, which is understandable. We made the case for also developing staff engagement initiatives because staff are longer-term and tend to be more empowered to make high impact decisions. Students are important too, of course, so hopefully the ideas and examples here will be helpful to others.
- In October IARU hosted a faculty-led scientific congress. This was an amazing event with headliners like the Danish Prime Minister and Peter Bakker of the WBCSD. We launched the book in tandem with this. While the conference was inspiring and highlighted global trends and solutions, our conference was intimate – it had around 150 attendees - and was organized in a way that fostered dialogue and action-oriented local solutions.
